1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Grease and flour three 7×3 inch loaf pans. (I forgot to flour my pans but it came out fine, plus I only used two bread pans).

2. In a large bowl, mix together pumpkin puree, eggs, chia eggs, oil, water, ripened banana and sugar until well blended (I did this in my mixer). In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking soda, salt, cinnamon, nutmeg, cloves, ginger and flaxseeds. Stir the dry ingredients into the pumpkin mixture until just blended. Pour into the prepared pans.

3. Bake for about 50 minutes in the preheated oven. Loaves are done when toothpick inserted in center comes out clean.

This recipe is truly a great one and I recommend everyone should try it out. To make it completely a vegan recipe, swap out the two regular eggs for 4 chia seed eggs.

I decided to add in the small ripened banana because I had nothing else to do with it and also wanted to make sure this bread came out moist enough since I swapped out all the oil and replaced it with apple sauce. If bananas are not your thing, just skip this step. You can also add in dried fruit such as dried cranberries, walnuts or a splash of vanilla to make this bread even more amazing! You can also swap out the white flour for whole wheat flour (or partial) to give it even more health bang for the buck! I will most definitely try that next time. I’m just amazed at how great and moist this bread is.

On one loaf I added a sprinkle of brown sugar and walnuts after reading another review and deciding to give this a try. I didn’t add them until 1/2 way through the cooking time, but it came out great! Also, I only had two larger size bread pans that I used. I had to bake the bread for 80 minutes instead of the 50 suggested for the smaller loaves.

I’ll post the stuffed chicken breast recipe on Thursday. It is a keeper!

The workout of the day from yesterday, was a rest day! We usually like taking Monday and Friday’s as our rest days. I was debating doing yoga, but the day just got away from me. We did take the dog on a walk in the beautiful weather so I did get in some low intensity activity.

One other exciting thing that happened yesterday was our stroller came! Yay!

We haven’t figured out how to get the car seat or toddler seat to click into the stroller base yet, but we plan on working on it today or I might need to return it for a new one! I’m hoping the product is fine and it’s just us that can’t figure it out! I think it is a good looking stroller and I can’t wait to push Baby Cameryn around in it! 🙂

Oooo that pumpkin bread looks delish! I love that or a good nutty banana walnut bread, my fav! And I just made my first fall dish of the season last night, chili! It was so good and I’m loving that I my winter taste buds and seasonal cravings are in full swing 😉

Love the stroller and love that snack of greek yogurt with honey and almonds, it’s one of my favs as I love that salty-sweet combination 🙂

My husband has been craving chili but it just hasn’t sounded good to me for some reason. Normally I love it. I blame it on pregnancy! I’m sure we’ll be making it soon though as he has really been wanting it!

I subbed the cup of oil for apple sauce, added in chia meal and flaxseeds, upped the cinnamon and decreased the sugar. Next time I might try replacing a cup of flour with a cup of whole wheat flour to see how that works!

Okay that bread has all the perfect ingredients. 🙂 I need to try it.
Figuring out darn strollers is a doozy. 🙂
Um….. this bread might just be my new favorite. I’m so glad I have pumpkin in my pantry. 🙂
You are too cute!

with some of these new strollers you need special “adapters” for the infant car seat. at least my Bugaboo did. they typically run about $25. the sneaky manufacturers don’t tell you this until after the fact!

i’m not a fan of anything pumpkin, or cinnamon for that matter. BUT i did just make some banana bread the other day & added chia seeds to it. gotta love those omega-3’s!

Ok, I had SAME problem with my Britax travel system…just push down with a little pressure. It takes a moment to “click” but it should click. We couldn’t figure it out for the longest time, but it is said to be safest for baby with that better lock technology blah blah blah! Ha! The cow print looks super cute though!!! …and you look great too!

We tried pushing so hard I thought we were going to break the stroller. I’m pretty sure the seat has a defect. We were able to get one side to click in just fine and even flipped the seat the opposite way and the “good” side clicked in just fine, as did the car seat. I already called and am exchanging it for a new one! I hope that one works better, these things are cheap!
